late morning

                                                            “Just all I wanted…”





The moon shines in a black silky sky.
She wondered why there are no stars that night.
Lightning strikes but no sign of rain.
The wind is so cold and it caught her skin,
Then suddenly…
She longed for a warm embrace.
“What a cruel thought.”
She whispered.
Then she looked up to find a star so she could wish,
Wishing that her heart didn’t hear her.
“Darn stars! Where are they when you need them the most…?”
Glad thing that her heart beats so fast creating such great sound and not able to hear her plead.
Now she’s silent once more.
Watching passers by.
Only the moon’s light shines on every surface.
“What is that?”
A voice going towards her.
She is so amazed,
Seeing a glitter in the air.
So beautiful.
It flew so high that it looked like a star.
“Now there is my star that I could wish on, in a way.”
Then she smiled.
She can’t set her eyes off to this single firefly.
As the night goes deeper,
Her heart wants to be noticed again.
This time her heart beats faster.
“Please stop this instance!”
She whispered.
“What did you say?”
That voice again, getting nearer.
Then a figure caught in the moon’s gleam.
Those loving eyes reflect what’s within.
Those lips that speak of love and truth.
But the real truth is not from him.
But from her.
Felt by her heart.
“Wait!”
She thought her heart didn’t hear her.
“You lied! You knew it from the start.”
“Darn heart!”
She turned away, watching the waters now.
The moon’s light sparkles to the sea.
Then a bright light flashed from above.
It caught her attention.
Then she looked up.
“Look!”
That voice, it’s against her ear now.
But she kept on staring at the sky as another firework burst in the air.
The night is filled with striking arrows engraved with love.
As if the night is planned.
“Are these things meant to happen?” She wondered.
Then her heart thumped and made her stand still.
He held her hand as they walk making sure she’s alright.
That is why…
He slowly melts her heart.
Those smiles, makes her see the brighter shade of life.
She closed her eyes trying not to be blinded by it.
“So wrong.”
She whispered softly.
This time all were silent.
Then started by a slow sound,
Their heart beat faster and louder.
Then she felt the warmth of his hand,
The warm embrace that she longed for,
And her lips become so sweet…

“Just all I wanted…”
He said.
Then he smiled as he never had before
